**Repeated plague infections across six generations of Neolithic Farmers**

"_These results demonstrate that the Neolithic plague was prevalent and potentially lethal. Together with the fact that these plague cases are found in one of the last populations with Neolithic Farmer ancestry observed in Scandinavia, we believe that plague could have been a contributing factor to the Neolithic decline._"

Earlier today I watched a panel #discussion on #television. The topic of concern is not important; however, what is important is the obstinacy of the host and the participants. Is there an all encompassing human imperative to dissemble one's feelings and the truth whilst trying to win a #television argument?

**The Danelaw: The Scandinavian Influence on English Identity**

"_Perhaps it is a possibility that these English noblemen and clergymen and some portion of the common people felt a certain fear of these foreigners, not just because of the invading force that the Great Armies were comprised of, but because these men and women from across the sea were so different yet so similar and perhaps it was because of these similarities that these two cultures were able to form a cultural hybrid in the eastern half of England where even today we can still find faint traces of Scandinavian influence._"

**‘Whatchamacallit’, ‘gizmo’ and ‘thingamajig’: what we say when we can’t find the right word – and why**

"_Apparently, the struggle to find the right word is real and has been for some time, because the Oxford English Dictionary has its own category for these terms, labelled “thing or person whose name is forgotten or unknown”. It includes 64 entries and some records go back as far as the early middle English period (1100–1300)._"

**Identification and measurement of intensive economic growth in a Roman imperial province**

"_Here, we examine evidence for three different socioeconomic rates that are available from the archaeological record for Roman Britain. We find that all three measures show increasing returns to scale with settlement population, with a common elasticity that is consistent with the expectation from settlement scaling theory._"
